Hot Spare Registration

Register the hot spare for the failure of a drive.
Note
• The following two types of hot spare are available:
- Global Hot Spare
This is available for any RAID group.
- Dedicated Hot Spare
This is only available to the specified RAID group (one RAID group).
For a RAID group that contains important data, assign "Dedicated Hot Spare" in order to preferentially
use the hot spare.
• If an Advanced Format disk is used for the hot spare, the sector format information that can be
confirmed from the server may be changed when the disk is used as the hot spare.
Global Hot Spare Registration

• Do not uninstall the drives that are installed by default or move them to any other
slot.
Contact your sales representative or maintenance engineer if drives that are
installed by default need to be uninstalled or moved to another slot.
